Fixed Showerheads Compared: 6 Listings Side by Side
As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. Every figure below comes from the seller listings.
This page compares six fixed showerheads: five SparkPod models (one 6 inch round rain head and four 3 inch finishes) and one BOZYBO rain head that also switches to a handheld. Most of the SparkPod 3 inch listings share bullet text, so the comparison looks at where their specs differ.
Quick answer: every head in the group lists 1.8 gallons per minute, and the chrome 3 inch listing and the 6 inch rain head both include a 2.5 gallons per minute restrictor. The 3 inch models disagree about their outlets, their mounting and their size. The BOZYBO lists 1.75 gallons per minute in one field and 1.8 in its title. Listing figures for the two research products were checked on 12 October 2026, and the four extra listings on 18 October 2026.

How we chose these six
We kept fixed or mainly fixed showerheads where the listing gives a flow figure and a head size, and where the head is sold as a standalone shower head. The research set supplied the BOZYBO and the 6 inch SparkPod. The four 3 inch SparkPod listings were extra products, included where their status was recorded as ok. The BOZYBO is a dual head, so it is included with a note that its rain head is fixed and its handheld is removable.
- Flow: each figure is shown in gallons per minute as the listing gives it. Where a listing gives a restrictor option, the option is shown next to the base figure.
- Jets: the spec sheet and the bullets sometimes count outlets differently, so both counts are shown.
- Finish and color: the four 3 inch listings are one model in four finishes, so they are compared as one product family.
1. BOZYBO Rain Shower Head With Handheld, Chrome
This is a square 12 inch rain head with a removable 9-setting handheld. The spec sheet lists two jets, nine settings and a 59 inch stainless steel hose. The bullets describe a magnetic bracket that holds the handheld, and a patented shower arm that lets you switch the water from the fixed rain head to the handheld or to both at once. The listing gives its weight as 4 pounds and its flow as 1.75 gallons per minute. The bullets also say the rain head and the handheld can run together for a shared shower, which is a seller description of use rather than a measured result.

The title gives the flow as 1.8 GPM, which is not the figure in the flow field. The bullets give 278 spray nozzles in one place and 274 anti-clog nozzles plus four massage nozzles in another, so the total nozzle count is unclear. The bullets cite three patent numbers and say the design is patented. The listing does not show the patent text, so the patent claim rests on the seller’s statement. The rainfall bullet says the 12 inch square head gives a rain feeling. That describes how the water is meant to feel, not a measured spray pattern, and the listing gives no spray test.
2. SparkPod Rain Shower Head, 6 Inch Round, Polished Chrome
This is a 6 inch round rain head with 90 flexible rubber nozzles, shipped at 1.8 gallons per minute. The listing says a 2.5 gallons per minute restrictor is included, and that the screened washer can be used alone for more flow. The spec sheet gives the weight as 8.6 ounces, the installation as wall mounted and the material as ABS. The bullets say the head hand-tightens onto any standard 1/2 inch shower arm.

The bullets say the head is covered by a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and they say a 6 inch and an 8 inch size are offered in several finishes. The bullet about the rain pattern says an S-shaped extension arm is needed for straight-down rain, and that the arm is sold separately. The spec sheet gives the hose length as 0.5 inch, which is not a usable figure for a shower head, so the field appears to be an entry error.
The bullet about easy-clean nozzles says the 90 flexible rubber jets wipe clear of hard water and limescale with a swipe of a finger, and it names well water as a use. The listing gives no mineral test, so the claim covers the nozzle design only. The bullets also say plumber’s tape and a spare washer come in the box, so the basic fitting needs no separate parts.
3. SparkPod 3 Inch Fixed Showerhead, Charcoal Grey
This is the charcoal finish of the SparkPod 3 inch high pressure head. The spec sheet gives the model as PPSH-CG, the flow as 1.8, three settings and a single jet. The highlight lists rain, pulsating and combo modes, a boost for low water pressure and anti-clog nozzles. The installation type is ceiling mounted, which differs from the wall mounted type on the chrome and brushed nickel listings.

The bullets describe the same head as having 52 outlets and three rain and massage settings. The spec sheet and the bullets therefore disagree on the outlet count. The bullets also say the head is made of ABS that resists rust and corrosion, which is a seller claim. The listing is shown here as written, with the jet count and the outlet count side by side.
4. SparkPod 3 Inch Fixed Showerhead, Chrome
This is the chrome finish of the same 3 inch model. Its spec sheet gives 52 jets, which matches the outlet count in the bullets. It is listed as wall mounted, with a 1.8 gallons per minute flow and three settings. The package includes a rain shower head, a 1.8 gallons per minute restrictor installed at the factory, a 2.5 gallons per minute restrictor, two screened washers, plumber’s tape and a product guide. The color field says polished chrome, and the title spells it Chorme, which is a misspelling.

This listing carries the most detail of the four 3 inch models. Its bullets add a seven-point list, including the adjustable spray settings and the statement that the head fits standard half inch shower arms in apartments, RVs and compact bathrooms. The listing says the head is covered by the same 1-year warranty as the other SparkPod products. It is the only 3 inch listing whose components field names both restrictors. The highlight calls the head a boost for low water pressure, and the bullets describe a focused rinse, which is a different description from the wider spa wording in the 6 inch listing.
5. SparkPod 3 Inch Fixed Showerhead, Brushed Nickel
This is the brushed nickel finish of the 3 inch model, and it is the listing with the most conflicting figures. The title says brushed nickel, but the color field says chrome. The spec sheet gives an item size of 10.5 by 6.5 inches, while the other three 3 inch listings give 4.22 by 3 inches for the same product family. The spec also gives one jet, while the bullets give 52 outlets for the same product.

The spec sheet gives the installation type as wall mounted, the flow as 1.8, and the setting types as massage and rain. The bullets describe the high flow, the water pressure boost and the no-clog nozzle technology, and they give the same three-setting claim as the other listings. The listing does not say which of the two sizes is correct, so the size should be checked with the seller or on the box before the head is bought.
6. SparkPod 3 Inch Fixed Showerhead, Black Matte
This is the black matte finish of the 3 inch model, listed in the color Midnight Black Matte. The spec sheet gives the model as PPSH-MB, the flow as 1.8, three settings and one jet. The installation type is ceiling mounted, and the size is 4.22 by 3 inches. The bullets are the same as the charcoal and brushed nickel listings, with the same 52 outlet claim and the same three rain and massage settings.

The matte finish is listed as the only matte option in the group. The spec sheet gives the finish type as matte, while the other 3 inch models are polished. The listing does not say whether the matte coating wears differently from the polished finish, so it is a finish difference only.
Worked example: how much water a 10 minute shower uses at each restrictor
Take a 10 minute shower with the 6 inch SparkPod or the chrome 3 inch model. At the 1.8 gallons per minute factory setting, the shower uses 18 gallons. With the 2.5 gallons per minute restrictor in place of the factory one, the same shower uses 25 gallons. The difference is 7 gallons per shower, or 70 gallons over ten showers. Both listings describe the 2.5 gallons per minute restrictor as an option, so the choice is the buyer’s.
Now take the outlet count. The chrome 3 inch listing gives 52 jets in its spec sheet, and the charcoal, brushed nickel and black matte listings give one jet in the spec while their bullets say 52 outlets. If the 52 count is right, the head delivers its water through 52 small openings rather than one. The listings do not say how the water flow is divided between them, so the count gives no flow figure of its own.
Finally, take the face size. The BOZYBO rain face is 12 inches square, which gives 144 square inches. The 6 inch round SparkPod face gives about 28 square inches, from its stated diameter. The BOZYBO face is therefore about five times the area of the 6 inch round head. The listing does not give a coverage test, so the area is the only figure the page can state.
What the listings do not say
None of the six listings gives an independent flow test. The BOZYBO’s two flow figures disagree, and the SparkPod 3 inch listings do not give a test for the claimed pressure boost. The bullets describe the pressure boost as a benefit for low water pressure homes, but the listings do not show a before and after figure for any home.
The 3 inch listings disagree on their installation type, their size and their jet count. The listings do not say which set of figures is correct for each finish. The BOZYBO’s patent claims and the SparkPod warranty terms are the seller’s statements, and the page does not show the warranty documents or the patent text. The listings also do not explain why the 6 inch and 3 inch SparkPod heads share the same flow figure while differing so much in size, so a buyer should match the head to the shower arm and the wall before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Do all the fixed heads here list 1.8 gallons per minute?
Every SparkPod listing gives 1.8 gallons per minute. The BOZYBO flow field gives 1.75 gallons per minute, while its title gives 1.8. The chrome 3 inch listing and the 6 inch rain head both include a 2.5 gallons per minute restrictor as an option.
How many outlets does the 3 inch SparkPod have?
The bullets of the 3 inch listings give 52 outlets. The chrome listing’s spec sheet also gives 52 jets. The charcoal, brushed nickel and black matte spec sheets give one jet each, so the figure differs by source.
Is the 3 inch head ceiling mounted or wall mounted?
It depends on the finish. The charcoal and black matte listings give a ceiling mount in the spec sheet, and the chrome and brushed nickel listings give a wall mount. Check the mounting type on the box before you buy the finish you want.
Is the BOZYBO a fixed head?
Its rain head is fixed. The bullets say a black knob on the shower bracket switches the water from the fixed rain head to the handheld, or to both at once. The listing calls the product a dual head, so it is a fixed head with a handheld option.
What warranty do these heads carry?
The SparkPod spec sheets give a 1-year warranty for the 3 inch models and the 6 inch rain head, and the 6 inch listing adds a 30-day money-back guarantee. The BOZYBO captured text gives no warranty term, so check the seller before you order.
Conclusion
For a fixed head with a stated 1.8 gallons per minute and an option for 2.5, the 6 inch SparkPod rain head and the chrome 3 inch listing are the two that list the restrictor option. For a rain head with a handheld, the BOZYBO gives the largest face in the group, but its flow figure must be confirmed. The four 3 inch finishes share most of their bullet text, so the choice between them comes down to finish, mounting type and the size on the box. Check the mounting and the size on the box before you buy.
